SmartStream's RDU Success Story

RDU, The Reference Data Utility, is an industry lead utility initiative that provides financial institutions with accurate, timely, and reliable instrument/securities reference data in a cost-effective way it once and correctly for the industry. RDU reduces the headaches and problems associated inaccurate and inconsistent data that negatively affects electronic trading and algorithms, pre & post-trade settlements, risk management systems, regulatory reporting, etc. RDU’s laser-like focus on data accuracy, timeliness, and reliability comes from our demanding clients that strive for 100 percent accuracy so we employ a best-in-class Data Quality Program that cleanses, validates against rules, normalizes, cross-references, and enriches data which ensures substantial reduction in exceptions, trade breaks and fails, and other downstream problems associated with inaccurate and inconsistent data.
